watching sopranos

late to the party but man helldivers 2 does so many little things that really demonstrate the team knew what they were making. mashing a sequence of directional inputs to call in orbital strikes/extraction, fuzziness when aiming strongly encouraging changing stance to one that slows you down aiming

agree with not liking that parries are increasingly central to combat in games but hate the aftermath article's way of arguing it. this is a far better explanation of the issues parrying can present: rexzakel.wordpress.com/2024/09/09/t...

The biggest mistake I see in discussions of trans people's healthcare is the idea that hormones and the like are some special service just for us when really all kinds of people access the same health care for all kinds of reasons but they are *withheld* from us because we are trans

Microsoft employees have discovered that any emails they send with the terms “Palestine” or “Gaza” are getting temporarily blocked from being sent. Microsoft confirmed to The Verge that it has implemented some form of email changes. Details 👇 www.theverge.com/tech/672312/...

It bears repeating that 5calls.org makes it incredibly easy to contact your reps. They give you the phone numbers, a script to read, and a run down of what is happening with each issue. I just called my senators in my pjs half awake and I'll probably do it some more later

Even if the Atlyss thing didn't turn out to be fake / a bug, maybe don't dogpile and harass a solo dev over something like "the character models are 10% less thicc". That's insane behavior, man.

Dodgers broadcast was discussing the science behind the perception of time between children and adults. After hearing the explanation, the color commentator pauses and asks, "Am I gonna feel any better?" Andy Pages then smashes a dinger into space, thus ending the existential crisis on commentary.

The sentence that impressed me that English is a really beautiful language is "This shit is so ass"

Excellent piece by @bryantfrancis.me but I have one amendment to make to a suggestion from the quoted source. We really need to start attributing success to its actual underpinnings, rather than romanticizing what we want it to mean.

SUPERHOT VR had its whole story patched out. I thought about it slightly too long and fell into rabbit hole. It doesn't make sense, it's bad that it happened, and it prompts a whole bunch of naval-gazing about Art.

the Marathon alpha released recently and its environments are covered with assets lifted from poster designs i made in 2017. @bungie.net @marathonthegame.bungie.net

The History Of The Horse Race Test

spoke to badru, the indie dev who recently decided to pull a game he considers his "baby" from xbox in solidarity with bds. he told me the team has received such enthusiastic support that they've already made back money lost, and he hopes other indies will follow their lead

There are going to be a shitload of people with blood on their hands at the end of all of this, but few seem so eager to be directly responsible for ending human life than noted eugenicist and roadkill dining aficionado Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Happy 4/20 to my fav comic of all time

The Raid and 12 Angry Men was a double feature

Trailer 2.

the absolutely limitless bog of transphobic vitriol that is jk rowling means that we cannot fuck with harry potter on any level and JOURNALISTS ESPECIALLY should be interrogating every single person associated with the new show about where her money goes. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

I wrote about the conceptual vocabulary of Marathon's really cool cinematic short, and the ways in which online shooters sometimes set up themes they don't execute on. www.readergrev.com/p/marathon-c...

On the Delfino Airstrip in Super Mario Sunshine, there is a Strollin' Stu that is doomed to walk off the pier and die 14 seconds after the level loads. However, by moving quickly enough, it is possible to reach him before this happens and divert him from his path, saving him.

When the US began to strip trans people of rights, revert documentation, move trans women to men's prisons, censor research, and move towards healthcare bans, most cis people posted things like "the government can't tell you who you are!" They think our biggest issue is validation, not actual harm.
